FIRE CHUCK PAGANO

Stop spamming the forum you fucking moron.

We heard you once already.

I miss Ronic blowing up this forum.

Probably writing Bettman a threatening letter if he awards a franchise to Seattle instead of Quebec

What team did the Nordiques morph to Nashville?

Colorado

I believe Nashville was a Expansion Team, The Quebec Nordique became the Colorado Avalanche

Correct

Yes, facts.

remember when Colorado wore the Nordiques jerseys for one game? I'm trying to find footage of it.

Maybe I made it up, but I'm pretty sure that happened.

Felt bad for the Nords when they moved. They were shits for years and finally had a pretty decent team with tons of young talent.

You want me to start?

I ALWAYS have more than enough time to verbally rip someone a new asshole about the NHL.

Just give me the fuse.

> = P

HE'S BACK!

I bet that bitch Jimmy Steele is a Bettman fan

Rick Nash and Michael Grabner both pulled from their game tonight. Apparently trades are closing.

Toronto better not go for Nash

They would be silly too, unless they can get a sweet deal. But I feel like Rangers asking price is super high. I'm not banking Leaf's future picks and players on Nash

Grabner to New Jersey I just saw from last night!

Plekanec will be a good fit for toronto.

Also, I went to the Wings game last night. Holy fuck that was the nicest arena I've ever been to. It was ridiculous

New arena and people still aren't going to Wings and Pistons games. HockeyTown my ass.

lol, yeah they had no problem attending when the wings were winning cups.

i also paid $21.50 US for two beers. That's like a thousand Canadian.

Steve Yzerman completely robbed the New York Rangers. McDonagh and JT Miller to Tampa, and Tampa doesn't even have to give up Sergachev or Point. That's definitely highway robbery if I've ever seen one!

This years draft close looks pretty good. Rasmus Dahlin could easily be the defensive equivalent of Auston Matthews and Connor McDavid. Andrei Svechnikov has some defensive issues, but the kid is a world class talent up front. Great size, speed, smarts, and he’s strong on the puck. I’m not entirely sold on Filip Zadina. He’s got great skill but I’m not sold on his speed. I think Brady Tkachuk will be a decent player, but I don’t think he will be a star like his older brother or his father. I think he’ll be a decent 2nd line player. I think Adam Boqvist has a lot of offensive potential on D, but his defensive game needs some work, otherwise he will just be a glorified PP specialist. He will also need some time in the minors to physically develop. My hope is that my team wins the lottery and drafts Dahlin. Svechnikov would be my 2nd choice, followed by BT.

Leafs defense and penalty kill look atrocious. Lots of skill on the Leafs but the inpression I get from watching them is that their easy to play against. They don’t seem to be overly committed to winning puck battles.

Their defence had been bad all season. They also aren't a very strong or physical team. When they get hot though, they are a very tough team to keep up with.

Leafs pulled it off tonight, good job

Kings.......SWEPT! I didn't see that one coming at all. I'll have to admit that I completely underestimated Vegas. They are an extremely big and fast team and pretty much beat LA at their own game.

I remember people HATING the the team Vegas drafted in the Expansion draft.

Canada is down to one team.

That was the best 3rd period by the Bs since probably the last time they played the Maple Leafs in a Game 7.

Also might have been the worse cleaning of the ice by a zamboni ever.

Was Stone Cold Steve Austin driving the zamboni? :shifty:

Wouldn't be surprised considering how much water was on the ice and how much Stone Cold misses when he drinks.

Christ, been rooting for Vegas since October.

Sharks making it interesting

In a bit of a shocker, Caps coach Barry Trotz suddenly resigned.

Supposedly his contract expired after this season but there were terms for a 2-year extension to kick in if he won the Cup. The extension got triggered but he wanted better terms than the team was willing to give for a new deal so he left in the end.

He'll make the next team better that he goes to, that's for sure.

Unless it's Edmonton

Trotz to the Islanders!

congrats islanders trotz da bess.. Anyone watch caps victory celebration seen me going crazy in the box seats

So it looks like that fucker Bettman's going to the HOF.

What a dickbag choice that was from that committee.

He should'ntve gone into the Hall until after his death, so that way we don't have to listen to his whiny prick voice talk at that venue, nor hear him promote his own stupid shit.

The only hall he belongs in is a Hall of Pain, where he's basically beaten like a dog in some room somewhere...maybe in a motel off the Mass Turnpike.

really great that Las Vegas is now the place to see hockey in its truest form
